SMILES is a media literacy project aimed at helping young people learn how to recognise and become resilient to disinformation. Together with libraries, media literacy organisations and research institutes in the Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium, we have developed a training course that contributes to a safer and more responsible use of digital technology amongst young people.
